Aegir Based Drupal Commerce Multi Site Ecommerce Implementation for a Wellness Product Business

This project was about building a web product for an e-commerce company, who wanted to sell e-commerce extensions to different websites. Ideally, it would be a multi site setup for different clients who would want to set up an e-commerce extension for their own websites by purchasing this service.

This is a classic example of a complex drupal multisite set up heavily relying on Aegir. Ideally any website owner, who wish to set up an ecommerce store, but don’t want to go through the pain of implementing a full blown ecommerce into their site, would purchase the service from this client, and would select a few basic features, like subdomain name, and package and template they wish to subscribe to. The client already had different templates for ecommerce stores, which are nothing but drupal installations with different features, themes and set ups. Once they select this, Aegir will roll out a new drupal website with the selected template, with the subdomain what the client wanted. Just like the example, http://shop.peaceandquiet.biz/ is actually an ecommerce extension of http://peaceandquiet.biz/. While http://peaceandquiet.biz/ is not a drupal site, they have purchased a service from my client, and then wanted to set up an ecommerce store at http://shop.peaceandquiet.biz/ which is rolled out by Aegir system automatically with the pre selected templates (called drush make files), which are nothing but complete drupal set ups ready with themes, modules and configurations like necessary content types for products, informational pieces and banners.
